Social Sharing Block edges out AddToAny Share Buttons on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. AddToAny Share Buttons has the larger user base (1,113 reviews vs 18), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Social Sharing Block's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Social Sharing Block; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — AddToAny Share Buttons's 1,113-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Social Sharing Block's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing every 24 hours.
